January 23, 2016 Roidzilla Observations

My husband just went downstairs to look outside. He said the front porch - an area protected from the wind - has at least 2 feet right now and it's coming down so heavy it's almost a white-out.

When I last looked across the street, about a half hour ago, the drifts were obscuring the entire first landing of 10 steps on that apartment house. I can't really see all that clearly now to see how much worse it got.

The city plows came down 4 times this morning between 5am and noon, none at all since. The private snowplow that was doing the condos' driveway and parking lot a bit down the block once an hour this morning has also given up and hasn't been around since about 11:30.

For about 2 hours there was a group of about 4 little kids with those plastic saucer sleds outside going down the 10 foot high hill made by that plow by the condos. They went in for lunch and never came back.

Even our neighbor with the snowblower gave up after his second clearing in 2 hours. You can't even see where he plowed now, between the heavy snow coming down and the drifting snows.

Just measured 15 inches here in Deer Park11

If its stays like this I think Central Park and rest of NYC will see 25 to 30 inches

Has gotten at least moderate in last 40 minutes Took reading at 13" 30* wind picked up also

Holy s**t. Walked around the area its crazy the last hr or so. Abandoned cars littered around. Snow is falling at an insane rate. If it was 2"/hr earlier, this feels like double that. Walking feels near impossible.

Some nice high ratio stuff here

Very light snow, hoping the deathband stays together while it pivots.

About 16-18" hwre with absoluetly white out conditions here, just pouring snow now!!

Ambulance is stuck on my street with a couple other cars stuck. Any attempted transportation stopped in there tracks about an hr ago.

Here in Midtown East it's been snowing hard most of the day. I opened a window and measured the accumulated snow on my ledge: just over 19 inches. I was here for the 2006 blizzard which was the largest snowfall in NYC history. Maybe we will top that!

12 here

Heaviest of the day pouring snow can't see 3 houses away niw.

Easy 2" per hr rates now if not more.

It seems like that band is hardly moving. Been sitting under that for a while, like it just gets stronger. Right by the pink.
